Connecting an Antenna—
Continued
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try using a commercially available out-
door FM antenna instead.
Notes:
• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable
results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an
attic or loft.
• For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well away
from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line of sight to
the transmitter.
• Outdoor antennas should be located away from possible
noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.
• For safety reasons, an outdoor antenna should be situated
well away from power lines and other high-voltage
equipment.
• Outdoor antennas must be grounded in accordance with
local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.

Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter
It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV
reception, as this can cause interference problems. If cir-
cumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as
shown.
If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied AM
loop antenna, an outdoor AM antenna can be used in addi-
tion to the loop antenna, as shown.
Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed horizon-
tally outside, but good results can sometimes be obtained
indoors by mounting it horizontally above a window. Note
that the AM loop antenna should be left connected.
Outdoor antennas must be grounded in accordance with
local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.
